[ptxdist] [PATCH] ptxd_install_replace_figlet: Use sed instead of awk to quote backslashes

TL;DR: awk and backslashes in the replacement argument of gsub is ugly. With GNU Awk 4.0.2 we have: $ echo '\' | awk '{ gsub("", ""); print }' and with GNU Awk 4.1.4 (and newer) we have: $ echo '\' | awk '{ gsub("", "");
